Mass Product Changer Addon Usage

Select one or more products at "Products" page in Store Manager and click right mouse button for pop-up menu. Select "Mass Product Changer" item:

To apply all changes to your products click OK button.

You will not be able to apply changes if your addon works in DEMO mode (is not registered).

Mass Product Changer add-on has four pages - Modifier, Options, All fields and Results.

1. Modifier Tab

Modifier page has four sections - Price Modifier, Special Price Modifier, Quantity Modifier and Stock Modifier.

Every section has "Modify..." checkbox. When it's checked, add-on will make appropriate modifications, when unchecked - no modifications will be made.

Price Modifier (Special Price Modifier)

Check "Modify Price by" checkbox to allow modifications. Set some numeric value and select one of three available options below:

  • +/- % allows increasing or decreasing current price (special price) by  percent specified above.
  • +/- value allows increasing or decreasing current price (special price) by value specified above.
  • Set fixed value - just overwrite current value with the new one.

Example:

You have some product with a price of $5.00. Check "Modify Price by" and specify 10 in the box on the left.

When "+/- %" option is selected, new product price will be $5.00 + 10% = $5.50.
When "+/- value" option is selected, new product price will be $5 + 10 = $15.
Having "Set fixed value" option checked will set new product price to $10.

You can specify negative value (like -10) if you want to decrease product price.

Check "Smart Price" option for some additional price features. See below for more details.

Quantity Modifier

Quantity modifier works in the same way as price modifier, except its altering product quantity.

Stock Modifier

You can set In Stock, Out of Stock or leave it as is when "Modify Stock" option is not checked.

2. Options Tab

This page has three sections - two for prices and one for testing.

Smart Price (Special Smart Price)

Smart price allows you to select smart marketing price like $9.99 instead of $10.00 or $24.95 rather than $25.00

  • Factor (Round) - round the price to be divisible by specified value. As for example you like your price to be at $25, $30, $35 etc. but not $27 or $31. Set round value as 5 to automatically round the price.
  • Delta - set value by which the price will be reduced. As for example to have 9.99 but not 10.00 you have to set 0.01 there or set 0.05 to have $9.95 and so on.

When calculating new smart price first operation is rounding and then it uses delta value.

Combine "Delta" and "Round" values to get smart price like $24.99 or $34.99 and so on.

Verify Calculations

Just type some value into Test Price box and see how it will calculate new prices.

3. Other Fields Tab

Other Fields Tab allows you to modify other product fields. Set some value and check appropriate box to make Mass Changer to modify that field.

Results Tab

Results page shows you all products you're going to modify with both old (current) value and new (modified) one.

You can review new values and edit them. You can change values in all columns, which have captions starting with "New" - e.g. "New price" or "New special price" etc. All other columns such as "Product Name", "Product Model" or "Price" are read only, do not try to change them.
